The PowerEdge M1000e is a high density, scalable blade server that features an innovative user interface to address all blades through a single LCD control panel. This product is ideal for CPU clusters and for intensive, processor-based applications that serve data to large organizations. The modular nature of this design allows customers to grow their data center as their business expands. The major service components are accessible from the exterior using obvious low-force, quick-release mechanisms and one-handed blade handles. Over 125 customers were involved in the development and validation of the concepts for this new design.
